Based upon the results of a 3-year study by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, student evaluations result in greater learning and better teacher performance. The study found that a few disgruntled students do not skew the results, which are found to be accurate measure of teacher ability and effectiveness. The teachers’ union has long rejected student evaluations as unnecessary, but anyone with a child in school knows that student evaluations are a necessary tool that must be implemented immediately. Parents are encouraged to sign the petition and show their support for this effort to improve our students’ education. Student evaluations will be anonymous.
